Event Details

• Date: January 31st

• Location: Pullman Tech Workshop

What We’ll Be Building

Volunteers will roll up their sleeves and help construct:

• Park benches for outdoor learning and relaxation

• Raised garden beds for hands-on student gardening

• Colorful flower boxes to brighten the school grounds

Why It Matters

These projects will support Pullman Elementary School’s new gardening program, giving students the chance to learn, grow, and connect with nature. From planting seeds to watching them bloom, this program will inspire curiosity, responsibility, and pride in their school community.

Fun for All Ages

This event is perfect for young adults, families, and kids alike! Whether you love building, gardening, or just want to give back, there’s something for everyone. Expect teamwork, laughter, and the joy of seeing your hard work make an immediate difference.

Join Us!

Come be part of a meaningful day of service, meet new friends, and help create a lasting space where students can learn and thrive. Together, we’ll build more than benches and garden beds—we’ll build community.

Let’s serve with purpose and grow something amazing—see you there!
